Wrapping up High Island
We spent a wonderful two hours at Anahuac Wildlife Preserve right off High Island, Texas as well as a walk through Boy Scout Woods, and a drive on Bolivar Peninsula on April 8 and 9. A perfect way to wrap up our week on the island. Prothonotary Pond Even though warblers were barely a presence, we made reservations to return on April 28 for another week when warbler migration should (operative word 'should') be in full swing. This time at Boy Scout Woods we took boardwalk trails, after walking the woods. The best woodland bird Michael saw was a hooded warbler; of course, I missed it! At Prothonotary Pond, no birds were seen including its namesake. But we enjoyed the beauty and then a trail through a neighbor's yard! Along the boardwalks, lookout platforms are provided, and one gave us very distant views of herons and egrets. Prickly pear cactus was a surprise! Because we purchased a new battery for the truck, we made it through Anahuac without the truck dying on us.
